NASCAR Sprint Cup Series star Ryan Newman grabbed the pole position for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour New England 100.

KANNAPOLIS, N.C. – Over the course of his nine-year NASCAR Sprint Cup Series career, Ryan Newman has enjoyed some magical moments at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon. After all, the 1.058-mile flat track commonly known as “The Magic Mile” was the site of Newman’s first point-paying Sprint Cup victory during his rookie season in 2002.
